This ancient Nabatean city carved into the rock face by man tells tales of time gone by. There is plenty of time to explore . Red & Dead Sea From the lowest place on earth, the Dead Sea to one of the most beautiful - the Red Sea, bursting with marine life and coral ecosystems. Experience two very different extremes on this tour. Crusaders & Gladiators Savour the magical atmosphere of Roman Jerash, which has survived an incredible 2,300 years and explore the corridors and dungeons of Kerak castle.
